SOS The SS Moyie<br />
needs your help!<br />
On October 22, 2021 the SS<br />
Moyie <strong>–</strong> a National Historic Site<br />
and the oldest intact passenger<br />
sternwheeler in the world <strong>–</strong> was 123<br />
years old. Because of her age she is<br />
in urgent need of major repairs to<br />
her roofs and decking. Launched at<br />
the Nelson Shipyard in 1898, these<br />
sternwheelers were expected to last<br />
about 25 years and the Moyie served<br />
for almost 60. When she retired in<br />
1957, she was sold to Kaslo for $1<br />
by the CPR and the next year was<br />
winched out of the water and began<br />
her new career as a museum with<br />
the Kootenay Lake Historical Society<br />
(KLHS) as her custodian.<br />
Like any house, her roofs need<br />
regular repair and last winter, sagging<br />
and leaking occurred, threatening<br />
the interior of the ship. The<br />
sagging has been corrected and<br />
reinforced, but now the critical job<br />
of replacing the canvas and decking<br />
is needed. This is where we need<br />
your help!<br />
The KLHS has sought funding<br />
from various agencies but we are<br />
required to match some of this.<br />
Removing the canvas, repairing<br />
any damaged wood, replacing and<br />
painting the canvas will require<br />
scaffolding to be set up around<br />
the ship. A team of workers will<br />
be trained on site to do the repair<br />
work. With the scaffolding in place,<br />
the exterior of the ship will be<br />
painted, so she will look almost as<br />
good as new ready to celebrate her<br />
125th birthday in 2023!<br />
We are grateful to the commitment<br />
of funding from Columbia<br />
Basin Trust, Community Economic<br />
Resiliency Infrastructure Program<br />
(CERIP) and the Village of Kaslo<br />
and funds from other federal and<br />
provincial sources are pending.<br />
KLHS now needs to raise $100,000<br />
towards this work and already has<br />
$83,000. Can you help raise the<br />
other $17,000?<br />
Please send donations to Kootenay<br />
Lake Historical Society, PO Box<br />
537, Kaslo, BC V0G 1M0, or via the<br />

Kootenay Lake Historical Society<br />
Our goal<br />
is now<br />
$100,000<br />
We’ve raised<br />
$83,000 but now<br />
urgently need to<br />
raise an additional<br />
$17,000 to repair<br />
the roofs and<br />
decking of the ship.<br />
We cannot do it<br />
without you!<br />
